As more and more pet owners are becoming actively engaged and informed about the health of their four-legged friends, super premium pet foods with targeted nutrition are growing in popularity. Super premium is the largest price tier within the total dog/cat category, making up more than a third of total dollar sales and growing at 3.5%. Consumers are looking for nutrition that’s not only enjoyable, but also healthy and enables their pet to live their best life.
In fact, three-quarters of dog owners think it is important to buy food formulated for their dog’s size, breed, life stage or other need. Four out of ten pet owners say they “would pay more for a food that was made specifically for their pet’s nutritional needs.”
At Purina, our innovation and product cycle is guided by research. We have more than 500 scientists, veterinarians and nutritionists on staff, who work tirelessly to uncover breakthrough nutrition that helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives. Over the years, Purina ONE has used that expertise to develop formulas that support a pet’s whole body health every day and throughout a pet’s lifetime, with formulas that address changing needs at each life stage. Purina ONE has formulas for puppy/kitten, senior cat/dog, weight management and sensitive system, just to name a few. Purina ONE nutrition is veterinarian recommended and proudly crafted in our own USA facilities.
Retailers carrying Purina ONE turn shoppers into loyal consumers who know they won't have to look anywhere else to find what their pets need.
Purina ONE natural dog food and cat food formulas use high-quality ingredients for nutrition that can lead to visible differences in a pet’s health, and consumers can see these differences for themselves when they join the more than 1.5 million others who have taken the 28-Day Challenge.
